Up until recently, people were allowed to smoke just about anywhere in Japan. Restaurants, banks, offices… these were all acceptable places for the Japanese to smoke.

And smoke they did. In fact, Japanese are known to have a higher prevalence of smoking than Americans.

However, according to a 2001 study from the American Association for Cancer Research, American men are 10 times more likely to develop lung cancer than Japanese men living in Japan.

This led researchers to believe that Japanese had a special genetic makeup that made them less susceptible to lung cancer.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting:
Japanese men who migrate to the United States have been found to have a substantial increase in lung cancer that coincides with that of American men.

The main difference in the Japanese men who live in the United States compared to those who remain in Japan is their diet. It seems that when Japanese convert to the Standard American Diet (SAD) their incidence of lung cancer shoots through the roof.

This leads us to the question:
Do Foods Cause Lung Cancer?
Or, more specifically, does the Standard American Diet (SAD) cause lung cancer?

The answer is no. Foods do not specifically cause lung cancer.

But foods (the processed and denatured foods found in our American culture) act as manure, providing the perfect breeding ground for sickness and disease to flourish.

In other words, the American diet of Hot Cheetos, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, and Lunchables lower our immune system making us more susceptible to sickness, disease, and premature death.

Conversely, a healthy diet of organic, sustainable, plant based whole foods and superfoods strengthen our immune system; enabling us to fight off sickness and disease.

Eating a healthy whole foods and living foods diet enables us to remain healthy while others get sick.

My colleagues and I are living proof of this fact.
For instance, I have eaten a healthy plant based vegetarian/vegan diet for 7 years and have not been sick during the entire 7 years.

In my day to day practice I am surrounded by teachers, mothers, and children of all ages who are sick at various times of the year. I work in a wellness center, fitness center, and dance studio; all of which are known to have a high incidence of germs, but I remain healthy. I do not get sick!

I’m not telling you this to impress you, but to impress upon you the fact that you need to eat a healthy, mostly plant based, whole foods diet.

By doing so, you will Look Better, Feel Better, & Live Better than you ever imagined possible.

You deserve the best.
